It Could Be Worse - Comments

i fall more and more in love with this every time i read it

you are brilliant

I am sooooo terribly sorry for being this late with my comment, and don't worry, exams had me by the balls too. so let me start by saying that chapter eleven was, on it's own, a greatly written piece(whether or not it worked well with the story as whole is yet to be decided) I felt as if I was looking at life via Konstantine's eyes and that is a truly amazing feat there.

as for chapter twelve, that one left me a little...I don't know, to me it seemed to skew a bit into a completely different direction. it was still great but the plot is beginning to get blurry now.

I hope you can continue with this story, it's honestly one of my favorites and one more thing, I think what Konstantine needs is a reality check or a really good friend to give him a good kick in the nads

ahhh please dont give up on this story D: I frickin love it :D i just like sat here and read it all :L cause im a saddo, but seriously, its so interesting and intricately written, like you can actually understand the characters, especially Konstantine, he's written like a real person, if you know what i mean, not cliche or anything, just really unique, and its really interesting :D And as for the plot, well you've just got me completely hooked now :// Please update soon!
x i just wrote you a fucking essay of a comment :L appreciate it :P

I just saw that this was updated,
and I am so ridiculously excited. (:
I love this story so much, and where you're taking it.
Your writing is lovely and your characters are so interesting!
Especially Konstantine, and his thought process.
:)

Oh gosh. Dont even fret about the not updating/proofreading i think anybody who has ever attended any type of school that they gave a fuck about understands (and what the hell "fret"? How fucking old am i?)

Anyways. This is what i read your story for. You create this painstakingly amazing scene imagery. You put your people in a place thats there and real and completely palpable and whats best is that you keep them there and grounded and not foating around like some people tend to do (cough. Cough. Me.) and im pretty sure its becase you can see where they are in your head and i love how you like to bring out that very... Classic. New York. You know, the stuff that people dream about, and the reason why anybody ever wanted to see new york in the first place kinda stuff, yet you still have the real world brought into it. Like "here's time square...and here is someone being mugged on times square." it adds a good constast.

And i know you dont really have a plot anymore, what you've just laid out for yourself has almost endless possibilities, in my opinion it has the potential to be. Epic. Please dont give up.

I love Konstantine so fucking much.
He is just so...relatable in a way,
I find myself wanting to actually meet him in person.
Your characters are just so interesting, I love them.
Just wanted to drop by and let you know that I'm still reading this. (:

My, we dream big.

Fuck. Get rid of chuck, orwhateverthefuck, i want him dead. Like now. I like how you had konstintine's thoughts meandering, adds to his overall ... Depression. It's like he's giving up, even when it comes to his attention span. I am not a big fan of relationship angst. But i think you pulled it off well enough so it doesnt bother me per se, so good job. Um, i felt like maybe the glass punching didnt build up enough, i liked the structure and everything, it just seems like your missing a step in the emotional process so you can get more of a reader reaction. Im not saying much, like add one sentance between him getting home/seeing chuck or chad or whoever and him punching the glass. But other than that this was well worth the wait! I hope you update soon!

So I'm three days late...You should kill me.

So let me start out by saying that, yes, I do agree Konstantine was a bit too angsty for my taste in this chapter but he managed to appear legitimately disturbed by his past and thus, incorporates that(his past) into his daily life.

In this chapter I also got to truly get a glimpse of who Aeneas is in terms of the relationship between Konstantine and himself. His position becomes more and more woeful with Konstantine's attitude and all around character. His love, though still pretty strong, isn't infinite.

I can't wait for the next chapter and if I ever read "I totally suck" in your author's description or anywhere pertaining to you for that matter, I'll cut you....I mean it, I'll cut you like wonder bread.

Hehe i spelled "worthy" wrong :)

Hehe i spelled "worthy wrong" :)

I kills me at how self distructive this boy is. Its like he longs for love and happiness. He wants and he needs it. But. He jus- he cant quite grasp it because he doesnt feel like he's wothry enough or some bullshit he keeps telling himself.

It seems like he doesnt want to taint aeneas but he cant help but try and bring that wonderful kid down to his level with that acrid word vomit just so he could possibly not have to feel like he doesnt deserve him.

All the while he just keeps repeating that mauntra of "it's not that bad, it could be worse" but it IS bad. Its so horrible at how he doesnt think hes worthy of anything. He wallows in this self-inflicted emotional seclusion like it would sheild him from more hurt or pain, but it doesnt help anything. It only hurts everyone who would even give a flying fuck about him.

Yet, fuck, he holds onto aeneas because, yes you're right, after awhile its sometimes easier to give up. To maybe blur those lines between love and fucking. So he does it and hes fine pretending for just a little while because, hey, why not? But, no, this will come back to bite him in the ass. And i'm just gonna sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan.

Great chapter by the way.

I truly stand by what I say, I would beat Konstantine in most cases but as I read 9, I understood him. I understood that he was a product of his tragedies and that Aeneas is this...like this cure, a way to take away the pain but in the process take on some of that pain unto himself, which is the last thing Konstantine wants. This story is really well written and the plot is heart wrenching at times. Keep up the good work, seriously.

From this crazy MOOOOFOOOO

Maybe "acrid" is a better word.

Oh god. Just. Fuck man. I kinda have like this throbbing pain running through my stomach from this chapter. Fuck. So bitter. Not sad. Just. Bitter.

So, this story is amazing. I generally don't comment on stories, especially slashes, since I find it to be mostly mind numbing. However, I love this story. I love how Konstantine is named after my favorite song by my favorite band.
I can't wait until the next chapter

Okay, so I've always had a small issue with slash fiction because it's always the same tired, cliche plot played out with different names and settings. and of course, some times they shake it up with a bad guy/good guy paring but it's always done in bad taste.

When I came across this story, i surely thought that it would be just the same but as i read on, I came to several conclusions: If Konstantine was a real person, I'd beat his shit into the next century, that the writing style in which this story is written is odd yet satisfying and that these characters are as real as it can get.

I feel drawn to read on and actually get excited, giddy and sometimes even mad. This story is, in my book, one of the best reads I've had the pleasure of having since i joined Mibba.

Balls to you! and I'll be waiting until the next chapter.

Oh holy shit, this is amazing.
I'm reading from my phone currently.
but there will be a more detailed comment later. (:

Hehe a fucking kitchen knife. :)

Yea! Dadts right, konstantine you besttuh' be scared. *ghetto finger-snap*

Hehe i'm tiiiiiiirreeeed. God i dont even know what to say. Thats how much i'm loving this.

*eyebrow raise* aeneas? (that is how its spelled right?) if they dont end up together im gonna be sad. Gah. I love konstantine his jackassery just makes him more lovable. It was cute when he put monica in bed. Um yeah. Another great chapter :)

Poor jacob! Poor monica! Konstintine quit being such a jackass! *shakes disaproving finger*
